NATURAL ORDER OF ORCHIDE^E. 139 



N. B. The labellum is not with five divisions 

 (Amccn. Acad. p. 109.) but simple, con- 

 nected at the base with the leaves of the 

 calyx. 



The situation of the stigma above the anthera is 

 peculiar to this genus. 



The generic name of Satyrium is, according 

 to Thunberg, reserved for Orchides with 

 the spurs attached behind ; the Linnean 

 species of Satyrium find their place in the 

 genus Orchis.
